[You are possessed by the body of the ‘Echoed Scythe Blade’! 】
[The memories inherited in the body are gradually revived...]
【……】
【Once upon a time, children lived a happy and prosperous life under the care of wet nurses. 】
[Children built great cities, sang and danced in prosperous streets, slept in luxurious mansions, and sang in magnificent churches...]
[Everyone is enjoying the deep love given by the wet nurse, with satisfied smiles on their faces.]
【Every child firmly believes that such beauty will exist forever. 】
[Until one day, the originally peaceful Kingdom of God was attacked by an unknown meteor...]
[The source of all sins, the ancestor of all demons, the ‘Original Firefly’ was born. 】
[The evil god only leads the demon army he created to ignite war in the once beautiful land.]
[The unprecedented war turned the prosperous land into scorched earth, and the once glorious cities turned into ruins, until they were submerged by the endless flames of war...]
[How do innocent children use the weak bodies of mortals to fight against the ferocious limbs of demons?]
[In the war that is losing ground, the happy and contented smiles of the past gradually disappear, beautiful families are torn apart, demons are raging in the world, and hell is filled with innocent children...]
[The ruthless war destroyed the land that the children depended on for survival. The land of God’s Kingdom was filled with the aura of demons and was no longer suitable for survival. 】
[No matter how reluctant you are to give up, the child can only give up his homeland and give it to those greedy demons to find his homeland again. 】
[The wet nurse leads the child to build a new Kingdom of God in the dark and oppressive underground. 】
[I thought that by giving up the land on the surface and living underground without seeing the sun, the war would be stopped... But how could the naive children understand that this is a ruthless war of genocide! ]
【The demons will not let go of every living child!】
[The demons came to the underground, and the flames of war followed...]
[The wet nurse endured and endured, but finally could not restrain her anger. She could no longer bear to see the children being slaughtered, and she abandoned the kindness she once insisted on...]
[The wet nurse exhausted all her divine power, divided the authority of the demons and gods, and gave the children the ability to transform into angels.]
[When the fragile mortal body has the ability to become feathered, the horn of counterattack finally sounds!]
[You are also one of the children given the ability to become feathered by the wet nurse.]
[Can you still endure the inhumane slaughter? Can you still endure the cruel reality that even if you live underground, the devil is unwilling to let you go? 】
[If you can't bear it, then use the feathering ability given to you by the wet nurse and go to the front line to fight.]
[You are fighting for yourself, you are fighting for every inch of the Kingdom of God, and you are fighting for the great wet nurse who has exhausted all her divine power and only wants you to have the ability to resist!]
【Kill all the demons you see, even if you shed the last drop of blood! 】
[Even a glorious death in battle is better than continuing to live.]
[Your body will be turned into nutrients to nourish the land of the Kingdom of God, your soul will return to the embrace of the wet nurse, and your great achievements will be remembered by future generations and engraved on the immortal stone tablet.]
[Death does not mean the end. You will be reborn under the nurturing of the wet nurse and start the next cycle of life... until all the demons are eliminated, leave the dark and depressing underground, and live under the bright sunshine again! 】
【……】
[The fragmented memories stop here!]
A large section of memory is a description of the background of this world.
After reading it, Lin Xun finally understood why this chapter was full of half-human, half-insect monsters.
"Are you joining just because you can't beat me?"
He opened the body panel to see what secrets were hidden in the 'Maggot Man' body.
[Shell Skill: Homing (Special Skill): As a product of mutation, you are the special maggot closest to the original state. With the original form, you will receive some kind of additional favor. 】
[With this skill, you will be guided in the dark to go to a place hidden deep underground to receive the favor left by the ‘Wet Nurse of Desire’. 】
[Body Skill: Molting (Special Skill): As a product of mutation, you cannot truly obtain the power of emergence. Even if the emergence is successful, it is just a false shell, and you will always be a maggot. 】
[Using this skill, you can shed the current 'Sickle Blade' carapace and return to the maggot state. ]
Lin Xun frowned and looked at the description of the shell skill.
"Infernal Games, you call this an unprecedented mutation success?"
He was powerless to complain. The combat power of his body was almost non-existent. One of the two mutation skills he obtained was the rare 'weakening' skill.
As for the special skill called 'Homing', he has already learned the specific location of the 'abandoned ancient lair' hidden underground, so this skill seems a bit redundant.
"wrong!"
Lin Xun looked at the skill description carefully [You will be guided in the dark...accept the favor left by the 'Wet Nurse of Desire'.]
Is it necessary to use this body to accept the favor left by the 'wet nurse'?
The more he thought about it, the more reasonable it seemed to him: "No wonder the Maggot Man openly told me the coordinates before and wasn't afraid that I would rob him of his favor. It turns out he is confident."
After Lin Xun thought clearly, he was ready to leave this place and go to the hidden map 'Abandoned Ancient Lair' to find out.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind as he stared at the useless skill called 'Shedding'.
Calculating the time, missionary Kim should return to the Firefly Temple soon...
He decisively used the 'sloughing' skill.
[A sharp pain that spreads all over your body suddenly strikes, and a crack appears in the gray-white carapace on your body, and the cracks gradually spread like spider webs...]
[You couldn't help but scream in pain, fell to the ground and curled up into a ball.]
[The hard carapace falls off, and the maggot’s unique skin reappears.]
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! [The compound eyes transformed into black and white eyes, and the chewing mouthparts transformed into lips again...]
[You stood up and stared at the five-fingered palm, feeling that the powerful feathering power gradually receded, and you became an extremely weak 'feathered maggot' again.]
Other bodies also have powerful evolutionary skills, but this maggot-man body operates in reverse and has the weak degradation skills. It's really a knife in the ass - an eye-opener.
Lin Xun used the successfully degraded maggot body to call the post to send the crickets to the 'Yinghuo Temple'.
When I returned to the temple, I saw that missionary Kim had not returned yet.
Lin Xun originally wanted to do a role-playing move directly, but the underworld game didn't seem to let him do it.
【……】
[The statue of the ‘Yuanchu Fireflies’ is only half the size of a human being. The tail of a flying firefly is inlaid with a gleaming gem, which shines with a weak but never-extinguishing light of fireflies. 】
[You can tell that the material of the fluorescent gemstone is similar to that of the ‘Firestone’ given to you by Kim, but it seems to be a little special. 】
【Do you want to pry off the gem?】
Lin Xun used a trick to lure the tiger away from the mountain to deceive Kim, and then rescued the maggot...
He originally planned to use the maggot man's body to return to the temple, create the illusion that the maggot man was still there, and finally find a chance to escape.
In this way, Kim will not doubt that he rescued Maggot Man and can continue to maintain a good relationship with the plot characters.
But the gem reward in front of him ruined his plan...
He hesitated for a moment and finally pressed 'Yes'.
[You stride forward, take out a sword and pry the gem off. 】
[You have obtained the ‘Firefly Gem that condenses divinity’ (an epic prop)! 】
['Firefly Gem that Condenses Divinity' (Epic Level Item): The statue of the Firefly God has been worshiped for countless years, and the believers' devout faith has turned into reality, making the Firefly Gem tainted with a hint of divinity. 】
[Use this prop, you will gain 1 point of divinity! 】
"It's a divine tool!"
Lin Xunxi frowned, he hadn't encountered a divine item for a long time.
Nowadays, his compatibility amplification is somewhat insufficient, and he just needs divine items to enhance his soul talent.
However, the grade of this divine item is epic level. If you want to upgrade your talent, you need to accumulate a few more items of the same type.
[You are watched by an inexplicable existence, and your connection with the ‘original firefly’ deepens! 】
The Underworld Game pops up a line of prompts, and then nothing more follows.
Lin Xun curled his lips: "The great Firefly Envoy can't work for nothing, what's the point of asking for wages?"
"I have not forgotten my mission. I have worked tirelessly to kill so many feathered ones. It is reasonable to charge some interest!"
He took the initiative to collect his wages, lay down on the bench, asked Valkyrie to tie him with a rope, and then started role-playing. No, it was a blame-shifting plan.
The thing was stolen by the 'Ecstatic Maggot Man', not by the 'Greedy Wolf Star Lord of Desire'.
For 'Original Firefly', he is asking for wages, but for Kim... Kim has lost so many leeks to be harvested, so it is not too much for him to recover some losses.
Missionary Kim came back slower than he expected, half an hour late.
【……】
[You lie on the bench and close your eyes tightly...]
[You suddenly feel a slight vibration coming from the ground in the distance. After a while, the door of the temple is pushed open, and the sound of footsteps comes from far to near. 】
[The voice of ‘Preacher Kim’ talking to herself sounds beside you...]
[It’s really strange. How did that maggot man defeat the ‘Dragon Knight’ when he looked so thin and weak? 】
[And if you have the ability to kill the ‘Dragon Knight’, why would you ask it for help? It’s really baffling! 】
[Huh? Could it be that the maggot saw through its special ability and deliberately left the body of a ‘Dragon Knight’ so that it could take advantage of its special abilities? 】
[So, that maggot man is really kind-hearted, only a little bit worse than kind-hearted Kim.]
[Unfortunately, the size of the 'Dragon Knight' is really too big. If it were smaller, it might be able to...]
['Preacher Kim' patted your forehead mid-sentence and sighed, the good bug will not be too unlucky. Its recent luck is really good. Not only did it meet the powerful bug, but it also knows how to repay its kindness.
Maggot Man, I also met someone of your kind.]
[Hey, those brainless idiot heretics, how could they understand that your mutation seemed to have failed, but in fact it was very successful and gained the same abilities as Kim.]
[It’s just that this ability takes a long time to activate... Well, it seems there is a way to activate it in advance. 】
[Forget it, the despicable people have brainwashed you very thoroughly, and it happens to take a long time to correct your wrong beliefs...]
['Preacher Kim's voice seemed to be stuck in his throat mid-sentence, and a deafening roar suddenly came from beside you!]
[Who is it?! Who is desecrating the Lord’s statue and stealing the ‘fire gem’?!]
【Damn, it must be you! Are you still pretending to sleep?!】
[You feel severe pain on your face and open your eyes involuntarily...]
[I saw ‘Preacher Kim’ standing in front of you angrily, with eyes under his mask that looked like he wanted to eat you alive. 】
[It asks you loudly whether it was you who stole the ‘fire gem’. 】
【Do you want to admit it?】
[You sneered, nodded, and said loudly that the gods worshiped by demons are also demons. If your hands and feet were not tied up, you would not only pry off the gems, but also destroy the idols! 】
[Kim’s eyes were full of anger, and she suppressed her anger and asked where you hid the ‘fire gem’. 】
[You answered it with a sneer, the ‘fire gem’ has been eaten by you...]
[Before you finished speaking, Kim suddenly took action. You could only see a cold light flashing in front of you, and you felt a chill in your chest and abdomen, followed by heartbreaking pain. 】
[Kim opened your belly and rummaged through it...]
[As a large amount of blood is lost, your eyes are getting darker and darker...]
【……】
【you are dead!】
【……】
[The powerful wandering soul is reborn in the dark confessional...]
In the original game flow, you should only be able to choose between two routes: Kim and Maggot Man.
Rescuing the Maggot Man will gain Kim's distaste.
Even if you get a hidden location and two regular maps, subsequent level locations will no longer be available from Kim, and maybe Kim’s branch line will be cut off.
However, if you take Kim's route, you won't be able to get the hidden map, and the special feature of Maggot Man's successful mutation will not be related to Lin Xun.
After going around in such a big circle, we can finally achieve the "I want them all" route that takes both sides.
"Uh... I've passed the blame, but now how do I go to the Kingdom of God?"
Lin Xun was a little dumbfounded.
Since I didn't encounter any rest pages in the Kingdom of God, I returned directly to my birthplace after resurrection.
He could only leave the monastery and fly to the "Sea of Corruption" with his sword again.
Fortunately, taking the initiative to collect wages did not make the 'Yuanchu Yinghuo' angry. Not long after diving into the Sea of Corruption, he met the 'Ancient Broad-winged Horseshoe Crab' as a free vehicle again.
Lin Xun struggled for a long time and finally returned to the divine kingdom of the 'Wet Nurse of Desire'.
He was very curious, the Wet Nurse’s kingdom was underground, so where was the headquarters of the ‘Original Fireflies’?
If we talk about it on the surface, except for the 'Ancient Broad-winged Horseshoe Crab', we haven't seen a single monster with the prefix of 'alienation' on the ground.
"Is it in the sea?"
"Would it be possible to establish a good relationship with Kim and open the hidden map in the 'Sea of Corruption'..."
Lin Xun speculated for a long time and came to a reasonable conclusion.
However, there is no rush to improve the favorability level. The current priority is to go to the hidden map - 'Abandoned Ancient Lair'.
From the news revealed by Kim before, we can know that Maggot Man gained the same special abilities as Kim after successfully mutating.
What is the specific special ability? You will probably have to go to the hidden map to find out in order to get the answer.
